Now that the holidays are upon us (happy holidays!) and the year is about to end, we at OSNews thought it time to finally lift the veil a little bit on the next version of OSNews - OSNews 5. I've hinted at this next version of OSNews here and there in the comments, but we think it's time to make it all a little bit more official by taking in some initial feedback.

You do realise people willing to spend several hours per day unpaid aren't exactly dime a dozen, right? Especially since, you know, they have to deal with thankless comments insulting their efforts.

We tried to find people for years, and no dice.

Thom keeps the place alive, which is as much as you can ask of someone unpaid and largely unthanked. The fact that he comes up with interesting articles too (in my opinion) is a bonus. A Christmas thanks to you Thom!
